Featured Article review for Empire of the Sultans
An article in the scope of this Wikiproject is currently up for Featured Article review. Input is welcomed to decide if this article is worthy of the FA rating. MartinPoulter (talk) 19:25, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Since I posted the above notice, there has been more interest and the review process has progressed further, which I'm very grateful for. We still need more reviewers to take part, following the instructions at Misplaced Pages:FACSUPPORTOPPOSE. A great deal of work has gone into both the article and the review; this is a chance to make a community decision on the results. Thanks in advance for any help!

Adding Exhibition history subsection to Poster House article
Hello there! I'm reaching out to this WikiProject on behalf of my employer, Poster House, an art and design museum in New York. On the Poster House Talk page, I've proposed a new Exhibition history section for the article. My section draft details some of the more notable exhibitions the museum has held over the past five years and draws from press coverage in reputable outlets like the Guardian and New York Times.
If that sounds interesting to any of the editors who frequent this WP, please follow this link. Feel free to leave feedback on the draft or, if you think it's good enough as-is, add it to the Poster House article. Thanks! Aaron at Poster House (talk) 16:41, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Different artworks? Different pages?..
Hello editors,
I have a question about Follow my dreams page. It is about a hand-painted mural by the italian artist TVBoy in 2022 in the city of Barcelona. This mural was originally called "Super Alexia" where you could read in the background the phrase: "Follow your dreams" with the footballer Alexia Putellas stepped out painted in a Superwoman outfit with a cape clearly visible on her back. In 2023, due to the multitude of vandalism acts, the artist decided to redo the mural, but neither the phrase nor the drawing of the player were the same. You can see the clear differences with the 2022 painting: and the 2023 updated painting:
In the Talk:Follow my dreams I proposed to make different articles because the new painting of 2023 should be treated as a completely different one even if it is located in the same place and on top of the old painting. The painting and the message in the background is totally different as you can read in the article:
Throughout history, many painters have painted over other paintings and they have never been treated as updates of these but yes as a different works. It is currently an active dispute with user Kingsif that recently moved the page (Super Alexia to Follow my dreams) and reverses the edits I made because he wants to fix the date of the old 2022 painting but the name "Follow my dreams" was created in the year 2023 not in 2022.
What do you think?
January 15th birthdate vandal
I think there is somone going round putting in "15 January" in artist birthdates where even the year is uncertain, never mind the day. Here he is at Donatello. Unfortunately it is one of those ips where the address changes with each edit. I don't know if it is just artists he does. Is there a way of getting a list of WP 15 Jan birthdays (I don't know if he touches Wikidata)? For dates before say 1800, as I haven't seen him changing a date that's there, just adding 15 Jan when there is no date. Johnbod (talk) 15:57, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Cleaning up article for an artist who added information to an article about himself
Hello! I recently stumbled upon an article about a Greek artist named Vassilis Vassili. Although the subject of the article did not seem to originally create the article, he did recently start editing it substantially (and based on the page's edit history, may have edited substantially in the past using IPs or another similarly-named account). I have been educating him about the conflicts of interest policy on his Talk page. I am coming to this WikiProject page to request help with cleaning up the article in accordance with the standards for visual artists' articles on Misplaced Pages. I am assuming y'all are familiar with what these standards are. I, in contrast, am not familiar with these standards, and know very little about art overall. I assume that a lot of the information needs to be removed. I can help with grammar cleanup, matching info to sources, and stuff like that, but I don't know how much info should be retained on the page in the first place, and I was hoping y'all could help with that. Thank you! Gottagotospace (talk) 16:51, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Straightening out metadata
Hello there. I've a question about the attribution of a painting and don't really possess the background necessary to evaluate the matter authoritatively. I've been working on a rewrite of the Spartan lawgiver Lycurgus. There seem to be two paintings from the late 18th century of him:
- https://commons.wikimedia.org/File:Jean-jacques-francois_le_barbier_called_le_barbier_laine_la_magnanimit060915).jpg
- https://commons.wikimedia.org/File:Lycurgus_of_Sparta,_Jean-Jacques_Le_Barbier.jpg
.jpg){kind=link}
They have similar poses etc. The first is attributed to Jean-Jacques-François Le Barbier. The second is attributed in the metadata to Jacques-Louis David with a source. But an image of the second is included in one of the references supporting the attribution of the first: https://www.christies.com/lot/lot-6338034. The former's attribution seem rather convincing. Is the second wrongfully attributed? Ifly6 (talk) 21:45, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, according to Christie's "Le Barbier worked out his composition in a handsome oil sketch (37 x 45 cm.) that was purchased by the Musée de Blois in 1936 as a work by David (fig.1). The sketch, which bears a false monogram, was first identified as Le Barbier’s study for the present painting in 1990 by David A. Wisner." Blois/Commons seem reluctant to let go of the more prestigous name. Their's is clearly a sketch & far smaller. Johnbod (talk) 22:10, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
